The following procedures describe how to enable debugging for managed and native code together, also known as mixed-mode debugging. There are two mixed-mode debugging scenarios:

  • The app that calls a DLL is written in native code, and the DLL is managed.

  • The app that calls a DLL is written in managed code, and the DLL is in native code. For a tutorial that walks you through this scenario in more detail, see Debug managed and native code.

You can enable both managed and native debuggers in the calling app project's Property pages. The settings differ between native and managed apps.

If you don't have access to a calling app's project, you can debug the DLL from the DLL project. You don't need mixed mode to debug just the DLL project. For more information, see How to: Debug from a DLL project.

The dialog boxes and commands you see might differ from the ones in this article, depending on your Visual Studio settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Tools > Import and Export Settings. For more information, see Reset settings.
